挑战

Brady Distributing Company heavily relies on the Internet for its business operations, making it vulnerable to malware, viruses, and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The company's IT manager, Rick Baird, was particularly concerned about the lack of visibility into the network, especially on remote PCs. Despite having a firewall for its MPLS network and a content filtering appliance, these measures did not provide enough layers of security. The company was still plagued by malware and viruses, which threatened the business and consumed the IT department’s resources to remediate the problems. Baird decided to add an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) to the company’s line of defense.

关于客户

Brady Distributing Company is a family-owned business that has been operating since 1944. The company specializes in the sales and services of jukeboxes, amusement games, and vending machines. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Brady has three additional locations in the U.S. that give the company market reach spanning from Texas and Oklahoma, to the East Coast, and into the Caribbean and South America. Brady Distributing has about 120 employees and is the second largest company in its vertical market, serving customers that range from individual homeowners with arcade-style game rooms to large amusement companies like Incredible Pizza and Walt Disney World.

解决方案

Baird discovered the Corero IPS at a trade show and decided to implement it as a solution to the company's security issues. He selected Corero’s IPS solution for its differentiated 3 Dimensional Protection. After the initial installation and tweaking, the system has been running by itself, with regular updates and advisories applied as needed. The Corero IPS provides broad and deep protective measures to reduce the risks and losses of compromised computers by eliminating the threats as they traverse the IPS on the network. The stateful firewall filtering prevents undesired access to Brady Distributing’s business-critical systems, applications, and data. The IPS’ centralized management system gives the IT department unprecedented insight into the state of network security.

运营影响

The system has reduced security alerts down to one or two a month, virtually eliminating the malware problems at remote offices.
The IT department now has unprecedented insight into the state of network security.
The company's infrastructure is secure, and the issues they had prior to installing the solution have virtually disappeared.
